How can I sell securely online?

Here at Groovycart we take security very seriously, this is one of our top priorities. We know that privacy and security is of the utmost importance when customers are buying online, we have put in measures to ensure that all personal information is secure and that your customers can make transactions with confidence.

We worry about security so you don't have to.

All passwords are one-way encrypted (as soon as you enter your password it is encrypted and can never be reversed), using industry standard algorithms. No one, not even the staff can find out what your password is (and we will never ask for it).

Key items of your personal information are encrypted at database level, again using industry standard algorithms.

All payment transactions are done securely with SSL 128bit encryption. This is an industry standard encryption that stops attackers reading your payment information when you send it to us.

Access to the database is restricted to the GroovyCart application and to technical staff only.

We have a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for managing customer contacts, such as customers reporting faults. Our CRM can only be accessed from our internal network (not the world-wide-web). Access to our CRM system is restricted and controlled by user login and roles.

We use two firewalls to protect our server, a software firewall and a hardware firewall.
